Central 6 panelled door with traceried fanlight, covered by open porch with Doric columns and pilasters supporting full plain entablature. To either side are a pair of glazing bar sashes. Above door a glazing bar sash with moulded surround and cornice. Over this a stone tablet with coat of arms and motto "Toujour Jeune". Further first floor windows, either side are glazing bar sash. On the 2nd floor, the middle 3 bays are open with a collonade of paired ashlar Doric columns, supporting plain parapet over; the balcony has wrought iron balustrade of overlapping circles. This feature almost certainly dates from C20 when there was a fire on the top floor; it is flanked by single, smaller glazing bar sashes. The banding is carried around the sides which have some glazing bar sashes and blank openings. At the rear are C20 single storey extensions and the rear front has a venetian window at 1st floor and an elliptical opening light to 2nd floor, both openings light the stairway. Interior: The staircase rises through 3 storeys and has swept flights and plain balustrades. The space between stairway and hall is defined by an elliptical arch. There are chaste cornices to the ceilings, full shutters to the windows, moulded architraves with a Greek form to the corners, and all the doors are 6 panelled and contemporary with the house.
